St. Charles teen wins billboard contest

Drew J. Schafer says he wanted his billboard entry to express a message everyone will understand.

Schafer, 17, won the 2007 Saginaw County Bar Association's Law Day Lawyers Auxiliary billboard contest.

"I wanted to convey that ideals like justice, truth, liberty, etc. are carried through all of us as a society and can't be upheld by the individual alone," said Schafer, son of Todd and Jeanie Schafer.

The St. Charles High School senior said he will attend Delta College in the fall. He said he wants to pursue a career in art and fictional writing.
